YOUR FRANCHISE FINANCE PARTNER

The old saying ‘Time kills deals’ is particularly true when onboarding a prospective franchisee. Nothing is more frustrating for the franchisor and franchisee than waiting 3 months for an approval from a traditional lender. Momentum and motivation comes to a halt and the likelihood of the deal falling over increases over time.

At CFI we can often approve applications within 48 hours which enables both the franchisee and franchisor to maintain momentum and enthusiasm with the onboarding process.

Refurbishment finance can be some of the hardest finance to obtain, and franchisees can be reluctant to part with hard earned capital. CFI are the refurbishment finance experts, we know how important maintaining current branding and a fresh look is for a franchise network.

With CFI you turn capital expenses into manageable weekly payments and removes any arguments about affordability.

A franchisee’s ability to own multiple sites/ territories can be stunted by traditional lenders. Most bank lending is underpinned by residential real estate and the equity a borrower has. Franchisees seeking additional funding from banks run the risk of ‘poking the bear’ which can be problematic if a borrower has existing exposure to the bank or if property prices are declining.

CFI Finance takes a different view and supports multisite ownership by assessing applications on their commercial merit and looks favourably upon borrowers that are existing franchisees looking to grow.

Introducing a new piece of equipment, technology or a signage upgrade to a franchise network can often be met with resistance from franchisees.

CFI can support seamless national roll-outs with blanket approval criteria and simple documentation. And of course breaking down the up-front payments into an affordable  weekly cost can significantly improve uptake across your network.
